Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that use artificial intelligence and/or machine learning to dynamically allocate services at different times and at different network edge locations within a Multi-Access Edge (“MEC”) enhanced network based on a multitude of factors that change the priorities of the services at the different times and at the different edge locations. For instance, a MEC controller, controlling the allocation of resources at a particular edge location, may modify the allocation of services at that particular edge location at different times based on time and/or location sensitive events that occur at different times and that relate to different services, changing usage patterns that are derived from prior service utilization, and/or categorization of the services as permanent, time insensitive, or other categories of services with permissions to execute at different times from different edge locations.

Abstract: Two-pass automatic speech recognition (ASR) models can be used to perform streaming on-device ASR to generate a text representation of an utterance captured in audio data. Various implementations include a first-pass portion of the ASR model used to generate streaming candidate recognition(s) of an utterance captured in audio data. For example, the first-pass portion can include a recurrent neural network transformer (RNN-T) decoder.

Abstract: A non-invasive, transcutaneous, real-time viral detection device that is configured for self-administration, e.g., at a user's home. In one embodiment, and after positioning the device relative to the human body part (e.g., the user's finger), light sources in the device are activated (excited), and resulting data captured. In particular, a set of Raman spectra are collected from a configured set of emitters and detectors in the device and delivered to a nearby receiver, preferably wirelessly. The receiver filters and de-convolves the Raman spectra producing a data set representative of the constituent elements in the user's tissue of interest. The data set is applied against a statistical classifier, e.g., a neural network that has been trained to recognize and distinguish the absence or presence of viral components, e.g., C-19, or its associated blood-borne acute phase reactants.

Abstract: A content production system and content management system are provided to produce and manage content with multiple components, such as multi-track content with any number or combination of video tracks, audio tracks, and the like. Individual tracks of the content are selectively included in, or excluded from, different versions of the content such that different versions of the multi-track content may be generated from different subsets of the individual tracks. For example, one version of content may be generated for real-time streaming and may include a first subset or combination of the multiple tracks. Another version of the content may be generated for storage and future on-demand access, and may include a second subset or combination of the multiple tracks. Selection of the particular tracks of the multi-track content to be included in each version may be based on varying types of authorization associated with the individual tracks.
